As summer continues, the sun is getting brighter and there is more time for us to layout and relax. Looking fresh, clean and comfy are essentials to keep someone going in this heat. Our Fashionista is able to pair a ruffled shirt with some distressed denim shorts to amplify her look for this season.

This light and airy shirt gives life and dimension to the Fashionista’s simple yet chic outfit. The attention to the ruffles on her sleeves give an effortless and fun twist to a regular plain all-white t-shirt. The ruffles allow a fun and girly look that is perfect for this season. To complement the ruffles her hair is curled to further emphasize the ruffles that overall ties into the entire outfit.

To accompany the femininity of the T-shirt the Fashionista has decided to pair it with some cool denim shorts with distressed rips. The blue and white Birki’s almost give a tie dye effect that is reminiscent of the ’60s.

This outfit can be worn at anytime and anywhere, whether it is at a day party or an amusement park. This Fashionista lets herself be active and comfortable from morning to night. This gives a new perspective on how to be chic and stylish with little effort.

How To: It may be hard for people to approach ruffles since we can refer them back to ballerina tutus or to clothes that we wore when we were younger. But, to implement a slight feminine style to your look like our Fashionista did, focus on the edges of your top so either the neckline, sleeves or the bottom hem of your shirt. By focusing on the edges, it can give a different and fresh feel to your outfit that is a bit more dramatic and trendy!
